Would it be more cost effective to "armor up" a yacht, or to disguse an already-armored boat?
Disguising an already armored boat I'd say. Putting on extra armor would make it tons heavier, and make it slower and less manueverable unless you beef up the engines as well. Disguising an armored boat? Fiberglass and paint. Weighs nothing compared to armor.
